One More Post on EulogiesTHE SPIRIT'S SWORD - December 5, 2016 Still going through mother's stuff, and I found portions of the eulogy for the aunt I never met. She died in 1941 in her early thirties after thirteen years of being bedridden. I never met her, as I said, but she was a constant presence, so to speak, in the house when I was growing up. She was mother's favourite sister, and must have been something special. When requesting the prayers of the congregation for Miss -----, on the Sunday after her death, ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheSpiritsSword/~3/jAUBbHYwFxI/one-more-post-on-eulogies.html

Pause for Prayer: SUNDAY 11/13A CONCORD PASTOR COMMENTS - November 13, 2016 Image source November is the Month of All Souls, a time when we offer special prayers for those who have died.

Thus the illustrat ion ...http://concordpastor.blogspot.com/2016/11/pause-for-prayer-sunday-1113.html

I Spoke Too Soon - November 12, 2016 Last night, I said something like "We'll see what comes of that..." when speaking about my aunt. Well, who knew how prophetic that phrase would become? Shortly before midnight, my cell phone rang. It was my aunt telling me that something was very wrong and she needed help. She asked me to come over to her place right away. When I got to her home, she was in bed and was too weak and too dizzy to move. I called an ambulance and had her taken to ...http://mydailymusing.com/index.php?/archives/2775-I-Spoke-Too-Soon.html

When it came time to kneel and nobody did my Aunt Milly said something like, "By God, I don't care if nobody else is kneeling! I am going to kneel before my God!" And she did so. There is some confusion in our diocese from parish to parish when it comes to kneeling. There is universal law. There are exemptions for the United States of America. There were changes, which an ordinary has a right to do, that changed what we did in the Diocese of ...http://clevelandpriest.blogspot.com/2016/09/friday-potpourri-head-shoulders-knees.html

A Religious Day - September 5, 2016 ... following exchange took place: The Pope: Who are you? Joshua: Peter, don't you know me? The world has become such a frightening place.

The Pope: It's so overwhelming. What should I do? Joshua: Remind them that I love them. That I died for them. Tell them that my love is real. That if they open their ...http://mydailymusing.com/index.php?/archives/2709-A-Religious-Day.html

Staying With the Sisters: Week 5THE DOME BLOG - August 25, 2016 ... charities and the meaning the sisters chose it. The day that truly stuck out to me was our journey through Habitat for Humanity with Sister Jane. Habitat for Humanity, for those who do not know, builds houses for struggling families in neighborhoods that are devalued because the people there cannot afford to keep the neighborhood clean and kept. Sister Jane led us on a tour of nearly every single house that she had helped build while working for Habitat. We were out for hours.
